Sound logic on gas prices

[Perfectlap]

China has very low emissions standards vs. the West.
And foreign automakers are only too happy to oblige.
Imagine a country three times the US in population with cars three times more toxic to the environment? Zero effect on the planet? I don't think so.
Even conservatives from industrial backgrounds like Paul O'Neill pressured the current adminstration to do SOMETHING about global warming.
But like all other fiscal responsibilities we prefer to do nothing and continue on our merry way. We have become very short sighted. Hopefully this gas situation will change some things.
btw, I've been living up here in the Northeast my entire life and I and people much older than me can tell you we don't have winters consistently like we used to. In only 25 years things have changed from what they always used to be.
